Most Dangerous Cities In America: Flint, Michigan Tops CQ Press List

The rankings are based on 2010 data from the FBI's Uniform Crime Report. CQ Press used data on the violent crimes of murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault as well as the property crimes of burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft and arson. The organization also ranked the safest places to live based on those same statistics.

1. Fishers, Indiana

Last year CNN Money ranked Fishers number eight on its top 100 places to live in America. CNN Money noted the city's low unemployment rate of just above 6 percent and cheap housing stock as reasons to make the move to Fishers. As CQ Press found, it also has a very low violent crime rate with no murders and just four aggravated assaults reported in 2010.
